Under the system instituted by the

The City Council has failed to make an

The Pardon" Stricken Ont.


Its a curious thing when so much
has been said about the generous atti-
tude displayed by President Arthur to
Gen. Fitz John Porter, but do you know
that there is another side to the story"
The speaker was an old man, well
known all over this country and highly
respected.
Yes, when President Arthur had pre-
pared the article which restored Gen.
Porter to citizenship and gave him the
right to hold office, the word pardon
was written in it. Secretary of State
Frelinghuysen saw the word which
would have stained the veteran soldier
whose name had just been indicated by
a reversal OF the famous court-martal
verdict.

1t must have struck those who read
the communication of '.Grosvenor" in
yesterdays PALATKA News, that there is
something to be said on both sides of the
Irish question. "Grosvenor" is well en-
titled to speak for the other side, and his
statements are worth weighing with
care. American sympathy goes out
freely to an oppressed people and is not
always founded on reason. Ireland has
wrongs, though the Ireland of the early
part Of the century would consider the
present condition one of comparative
freedom. On the other hand she has the
advantage of laws SO liberal in relation
20 land tenure and rents that Henry
6sorge himself would hardly dare to ad-
vocAee them in this country. The pro-
posed Coercion Bill will be an act of
gross tyranny, if effected, and is calcula-
ted TO awaken indignation among Ameri-
cans. but to assume that one side is all
right and the other all wrong is to fail to
do even justice.

The Legislature has fallen into a list

the enthusiastic Democratic meetings
